Padres baseball. Blowout a glove one day. Score 15 runs the next.

Was at the Mariners game last night when they blew a chance to win the the bottom of the ninth with a runner on third and one out.
The manager pulled a guy who is hitting well for a new call-up who I'm not sure has ever touched a ball with his bat in the majors. Apparently to get a righty-lefty matchup. The new guy did work the count full, but struck out without making contact. All they needed was a fly ball, and it sure seemed the the other guy was a better bet for that.
Anyway, the Mariners had the exact same situation in the bottom of the 10th, first and third with one out. They managed to draw a walk to load the bases. And then JP hit a deep fly to right for the game winning sacrifice fly.

It's been a while and I'm not sure if it's allowed any more under the "no shift" rules, but I've seen a 5 infielder defense a few times. It was infield in with 5, and outfielders in to cover where there the idea was to rob what would normally be singles. Strangely enough, I think once there was a hit that just powered right through the infield.

Awesome that they now have the Negro League stats at baseball reference and fangraphs. Not sure when that happened, but that is welcomed news. Of course those stats should count now that we have them.

There is a reason why baseball does not want players betting on games, even games they are not involved with, and that's because they don't want them to get into debt to "gamblers". Even if you didn't bet on your own games, you could still face a situation where someone you owe a great deal of money to asks you to throw a game for them.
This, of course, is not such a huge deal for superstar players with nearly limitless money, but as we saw with the Ohtani situation (or rather, more likely the Ohtani translator situation), the debts can build up fast.

Walk-off grand slam tonight. I was there with my dad. Very cool. I wish my dad was still able to go. I haven't been paying attention to the AL, but tonight during the Dodgers/Rangers game they mentioned that the mariners were in first place. That makes games like that even that much better.

Well crochet was awesome tonight. 7 innings, two hits, 13 strikeouts. Well worth the price of admission. And the mariners should come back to win against the bullpen.
